For the most part I prefer looking forward as I like the view better. However a new year gives a brief opportunity to look back and reflect on the events of the past year. For a Christian, it gives an opportunity to count blessings and see how God led throughout the year. I have made it part of my family tradition to do this for each my children. I do it at this time for my company, Worthwhile.
